Hiding the default privacy page

Overview

DNN comes with a pre-built privacy page which can be found at <website>/privacy.

However, this privacy page is hard-coded and cannot be deleted like other pages in an instance. It is possible to remove the page by editing the database as well as .ascx files but this can possibly break other assets and pages in the process. The safest way to hide the privacy page is to create a redirect to another existing page.
